Thank You to the Many APC Volunteers and Members
APC has a tradition of honoring our members and volunteers during our Annual Conference. Due to the pandemic, our 2020 Joint Conference was canceled, and we have all had to adjust our “traditions.” We invite you now to review the names of your colleagues and fellow members of APC. These are the people that continue to make your professional association the leading organization for professional chaplains! Thank you to every one of you!
